The Obama administration's rush to war in Syria should be stopped by Congress. Our representatives should realize that although the Bashar al-Assad regime appears to have committed a war crime with its use of chemical weapons, if the United States attacks Syria without U.N. sanction, America also will be committing a war crime because Syria is not an imminent threat to the United States.
